It depends entirely on the software. E.g., Emacs is great (and even kinda usable across the ocean), while Firefox and most Qt/GTK programs are much less so.
- zbuf 8y agoFor the Qt applications, try setting QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native. I did experience Qt applications pushing whole window-sized bitmaps until I discovered this. Now remote $DISPLAY works well again. It seems the functionality is there, just the default setting gives poor performance over the network. I agree, good software works over wireless LAN with no issues. At my workplace this is used extensively.
